U.P. Centennial Steam train in Arizona   October 26th, 2011

Union Pacific’s Centennial Steam Train will visit New Mexico and Arizona in recognition of the states’ 100th anniversary of admission into the Union.

This includes a display on Sunday, 13 November 2011. Come on down to the station for a little memorabilia, and think on what Union Station will be again whenever we can get a train an hour to Tucson, and five daily trains to Los Angeles…

NOTE: The Phoenix display says  “631 South 7th” but it’s not clear if that is 7th Street or 7th Avenue (1 mile apart) … the train will NOT be at Union Station. Stay tuned for more details.
